Trouble usually comes with women, especially beautiful women.

Zhao Yong likes women, especially beautiful women. But he doesn't like trouble, even if it hasn't happened yet.

The daylight was getting brighter, and the candles in the dormitory were still not extinguished. Zhao Yong had actually woken up a long time ago, but he was greedy for a touch of slippery in his hand and refused to leave. Jia Baoyu said that women are made of water, in fact, they are deeply involved in the samadhi, not only to say that women like to cry, but also between the beds, when the mandarin ducks cross their necks, it is often a little interesting. Not to mention that the so-called gentle township is the hero's mound, this natural philosophy of overcoming rigidity with softness, between men and women, is also a wise saying.

The tears of the jade man in her arms had not dried, and the first pain of the new jade gourd made her crazy and a little intoxicated. Maybe she was too tired last night, and Wen Ji hasn't woken up until now, and even Zhao Yong kissed her jade back, but she didn't wake up. This is the first indulgence since he crossed over, and for Wen Ji, why not? Zhao Yong caressed her pitifully, like stroking a piece of exquisite ceramics. Perhaps it is from the innate beauty genes of the Qi clan, Wen Ji is not like a woman in the world, but a fairy in the sky.

"Hmm." The fairy slowly opened her sleepy eyes and saw Zhao Yong's scornful smile. Her face was slightly red, and she wanted to get up, but she remembered that there was not a single strand on her body, so she quickly pulled up the brocade quilt to cover her shame and went to find her clothes. Who would have thought that an arm would reach out behind her and pull her back again.

"Aren't all kings supposed to be diligent in their affairs?" Secured in her arms, there was something behind her that made her so painful and crazy last night teasing her from time to time, making her feel uncomfortable, but a little excited.

"However, it is gentle and beautiful, and the beauty is heavy. From then on, the king will not go to court. ”

Wen Ji saw that he was still in the mood to laugh at himself at this time, but this kind of sweet talk was much better than those literati who could only say some literary words, after all, what man would not go to the court for a woman?

"So, over there in the Yan Kingdom, what does the king think?"

"Besides, this kind of thing can't be decided by me alone?" Zhao Yong said helplessly.

"Huh? Isn't the word of the king heaven? Shouldn't all the ministers listen to you? The so-called millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood? Wen Ji said a little naively.

"The woman's opinion. If this is really the case, Lone doesn't have to frown all day long because of these big and small things in the country. Zhao Yong smacked his lips.

"You, the king, are really different from other monarchs." Wen Ji said innocently. In fact, although she has royal blood, she is well-known in the market, and it is said that she should be in awe of a monarch like Zhao Yong. However, the "Flying Bear" organization educates this descendant of the Gong clan as a princess, and usually needs some courage and martial arts, so that he has cultivated such an innocent and bewitching character.

"What about me and the other men?" Zhao Yong said sarcastically.

How could Wen Ji not hear the meaning of his words, blinked, and said charmingly: "It's not the same." ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he hugged her in his arms fiercely, and said threateningly: "Believe it or not, I locked you in the deep palace and didn't let you leave for half a step?" ”

"In this case, I am afraid that the king will be criticized." Wen Ji couldn't help but say. But as soon as I said it, I regretted it in my heart.

Zhao Yong didn't know that with his identity, if Wen Ji was still the princess of Qi Kingdom, it would be reasonable, but according to her current identity and status, even if she was in the palace, it would be very difficult to be an ordinary palace person, not to mention, Zhao Yong didn't plan to wronged her like this, after all, this was the first woman to have skin kiss after she came to the Warring States.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and it seemed to sink into an inexplicable sadness.

Wen Ji's heart suddenly cooled, and she wanted to cry. Soon, though, she let go of her heart. I like this man because I am obsessed with his charm, so why bother with the gains and losses of fame and fortune?

But he didn't think about it, Zhao Yong kissed her seductive red lips affectionately, and muttered: "Death and life are broad, talk to Zicheng." Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”

When Wen Ji heard this, tears finally broke the embankment, and all the grievances turned into tears and flowed out happily. Women are so stupid, because a promise will take a lifetime.

White Tiger Hall.

Pang Cong has recently become a frequent visitor here, and in the Battle of the House, he helped the Zhao army quickly occupy the house city because of his good command, and finally was able to gain a voice in the Zhao military. became one of the five generals in the list of Zhao State, and the other four were all members of the Zhao State clan.

However, after returning from the house, Pang Cong was arranged by Zhao Yong in the White Tiger Hall, becoming another general who could enter and leave the White Tiger Hall after Siqing, and the task given by Zhao Yong to Pang Cong and Wu Guang was to support the cavalry reform of Arrow Ridge and Daidi, as well as to plan the military merit system of Zhao State.

Does Zhao have a military merit system? Yes, or no. In fact, Zhao State, like other countries, still adopted the Shiqing Shilu system, that is, most of the people in the Gong clan were used as the main officials, but it did not exclude talented people who were self-recommended or recommended to hold important positions, but they were mainly based on the generals of the Gong family, which was also an improvement made on the lesson of the demise of the Jin State.

However, the disadvantages of the Shiqing Shilu system are particularly obvious in the system, and although this system of influencing public power with clan power can consolidate the rule of the state to a certain extent, it is not completely reliable in the long run.

The simplest example, the ancestor of Zhao State was the secretary of state in the sixth generation of the Jin State, and finally became one of the culprits of the chaos of the six countries, Zhao Yong can be said to be a vested interest, so how can he not know the harm? and the abolition of Duke Qi Kang by Tian Wan, it is also because the Tian family has occupied a high position in the Qi State for generations, so I have the strength to surpass the monarch of the Qi State. Just like an iron-beaten monarch and an iron-beaten family, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is a male and a female, the monarch and the minister have nothing to do, in case one party has a different heart, the destruction of the country is fatal. What's more, this system also has a great impact on the selection of talents, because the vision of selection is too small, and the vision of talents entering the management is too low. To put it bluntly, it is what modern people call family management.

So, does Zhao have a military merit system? Yes, during the time of Zhao Liehou, the reform led by Xiangbang Gongzhong Company and Lieutenant Xun Xin proposed to Zhao Liehou to "select, train, and promote talents, and appoint officials to enable them", which is equivalent to firing the first shot at the Shiqing Shilu system.

However, the reform of Xun Xin and Gong Zhonglian was still confined to the administrative system and could not be related to practical interests.

However, this time, when Zhao Yong was preparing to implement the military merit system, he considered too many factors, and finally formed a compromise plan.

First, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the system of parallel civil and military affairs, and draw a clear line between civil servants and military generals. This system began to be implemented at the beginning of the Zhao state, but there was no accurate law, and this time, Zhao Yong asked for the law to be fixed, and required the civil and military generals to perform their duties and not to be confused. Among them, the national lieutenant was assigned to the category of civil ministers, responsible for military quartermaster scheduling and logistics management, and no longer participated in specific military operations.

Second, clarify the military merit system, the general system and the clan encouragement order. That is, the general is the supreme military commander, but it is not permanent, and it is only designated in military operations. The rest of the generals are divided into five ranks according to the generals (generals, left generals, right generals), all lieutenants (all lieutenants, left lieutenants, right lieutenants), school captains (school captains, left school captains, right school captains), first sergeants (sergeants, sergeants, corporals) and soldiers (one soldier, two soldiers and three soldiers), each rank is three knights, a total of five classes and fifteen knights.

Among them, the generals of the clan shall not be hereditary, and the lieutenants of the clan shall not be directly designated, and they need to be appointed by the state, and the generals in the clan generals can directly appoint heirs, and they can be reported afterwards. The rest of the generals are not allowed to be hereditary if they are not from the clan.

Third, all military exploits are mainly based on fiefdoms, and land is granted by the state, and the land qualifications of each title are also different. However, once it is sealed, the land can be occupied on the basis of paying taxes.

Of course, this plan is still in the final stage of refinement, and Zhao Yongmi ordered Wu Guang and Pang Cong not to leak it without authorization twice, otherwise they will be sentenced to death. The reason for this is that this system not only touches the interests of the clan, but also touches the interests of the old nobles, and once it is thrown out at the wrong time, it will definitely have immeasurable consequences, so we must be cautious.

So after Pang Cong received the order to rush to the White Tiger Hall, the first thing that came to mind was this reform, could it be that Zhao Yong was ready to start this reform.

When he entered the White Tiger Hall, he found that except for Zhao Yong, the other four Qings had already arrived. This is also the highest-level military meeting, otherwise the four secretaries would not have been used to attend the meeting. Thinking of this, Pang Cong realized that maybe there would be another war.

When he saluted, Zhao Yong said to Pang Cong: "This time to summon Qing to meet, it is really a matter of discussion. It is for the sake of the Yan Kingdom's attack on our country. ”

"Yan Guo?" Pang Cong looked confused, isn't it Zhongshan Country? Or is it the state of Qi? Yan Guo came to join in the fun.

"According to the military information received by Gu, Zhongshan wants to unite with the Yan State and launch an attack on our land, if so, the Zhao State will face simultaneous attacks from the Yan State and the Zhongshan Kingdom. This time, the secretary of state was summoned to discuss how to confront the alliance forces of the two countries. ”

Pang Cong was surprised after hearing this, he didn't expect that attacking a house city would usher in such a strong revenge. However, if this is the case, then Zhao may be about to face a major military situation. "Dare to ask your lordship, can you find out the marching strategy of the two countries."

"I've heard a little." Zhao Yong thought for a while and said: "Zhongshan and Yan Guo want to come by dividing their troops. One is to attack our land by Yan, and the other is to attack our house city by Zhongshan. Of course, the authenticity of this information still needs to be investigated, and it cannot be taken seriously. "To be honest, the military situation is big, and Zhao Yong doesn't dare to fully believe the news that Wen Ji overheard.

"If that's the case..."Pang Cong looked at the sand table of the White Tiger Hall, walked back and forth a few times, and then pointed to a place: "The minister thinks that the Yan Kingdom will definitely attack this place first. ”

When everyone looked at it, they couldn't help but read: "Turbid deer? ”
